[Opening]
[Am][Em][D]
You keep me [Am]connected to you [Em]like I was your [D]shadow
You’re giving me [Am]answers to all of my [Em]questions here on my [D]pillow,
Oh, can’t nothing get in [Am]between us, [G]baby
We’ve been [D]waiting on this moment for so long
You wanna be [Am]reckless, restless, [Em]right until [D]tomorrow. Wait

[chorus]
When I put my lips on [Am]you
You feel the [G]shivers go up and down your [D]spine for me
Make you cry for me, when I put my lips [Am]on you
I hear your [G]voice echoing all through the [D]night for me
Baby, cry for me
When I put my lips on [F]you (when I, when I, [G]when I)
When I put my lips on [D]you (when I, when I, when I)

[Closing]
Just turn off the lights [Am]and you can [Em]be my private [D]dancer
When we close the [Am]curtains
You and me [Em]can forget all our [D]manners, oh
The neighbors must think that [Am]we’re crazy, [G]maybe
‘Cause look how [D]easily we keep coming undone
You wanna be [Am]reckless, restless, [Em]right until [D]tomorrow. Wait

[chorus]
When I put my lips on [Am]you
You feel the [G]shivers go up and down your [D]spine for me
Make you cry for me, when I put my lips [Am]on you
I hear your [G]voice echoing all through the [D]night for me
Baby, cry for me
When I put my lips on [F]you (when I, when I, [G]when I)
When I put my lips on [D]you (when I, when I, when I)
When I put my lips [F]on you (when I, when I, [G]when I)
When I put my lips [D]on you (when I, when I, when I)

[chorus]
[Am] [G] [D]
When I put my lips on [Am]you
You feel the [G]shivers go up and down your [D]spine for me
Make you cry for me, when I put my lips [Am]on you
I hear your [G]voice echoing all through the [D]night for me
Baby, cry for me
When I put my lips on [F]you (when I, when I, [G]when I)
When I put my lips on [D]you (when I, when I, when I)
When I put my lips [F]on you (when I, when I, [G]when I)
When I put my lips [D]on you (when I, when I, when I)
